Hmm,

that didn't do the trick ...
lemme try to make myself clear again ;)

I'd like to catch a keypress even if my application's window doesn't 
have keyboard focus.
Much like e.g. Alt-F1 opens the Gnome main menu even if I'm typing in a 
Mozilla message
window.
Is that possible without having to register with the window manager?
Any ideas (short of studying gnome-panel source ;) )?

TIA,

Karl.
